Fuji Espree Mixte and Cream Tires

To sleep, perchance to cream... Whoa, wait, I didn't mean to write that. I'm talking about tires here, for chrissakes. Anyway, I can't decide whether or not these cream tires enhance this mixte build or steal all the frame's spotlight. Thoughts, anyone?

My other option, by default, is tan-walled Panaracer Paselas. I think they'd make for a more classic, "tasteful" look overall. I'm just not sure I want to be tasteful in this case. If I were to run Paselas, I could use the original 27" wheels, saving a little dough (whereas the cream Delta Cruisers only come in 700c, requiring a wheel upgrade).

(btw, the gnarly old cork grips are just placeholders until a new pair arrives in the mail, so don't hate on 'em, please)
